Cure of Kidney Disease.

NORTHEAST, EHIk CO, EA NOV ~o, 4ooo.
 I first used ALLCoCK's POROUS pLAsTERs for severe cold in my chest some three years ago, and the relief was so prompt and decided that I concluded to further test them for kidney trouble which I had for many years; during this time my back ached almost constantly. had to pass. water very frequently, always feeling the bladder did not expel all it's contents. had always to get up in the night several times for this purpose, and there was always 8 reddish sed- iment that sank to the bottom. I had great pain under the shoulder blades; upon rising in the morning I was always tired and unrefreshed; my bowels during this time were first very loose, then constipated. I bought dozen Of ALLcocK's POROUS PLAs- TIERS, put tive low down on my back, two higher up, and one ever my bladder and lower part of the stomach. In four weeks felt better than in years before. The pain in my back completely passed away and the other troubles were relieved.

 Potter Palmer, Chieago's millionaire, who at the uime of the Chicago fire was man of great wealth but whom the fire nearly foored, had just before the fire conceived the pro- feet of the magnificent Palmer House, and had negotiated heavy loans with the Connec- ticut Mutual Life for that and other enter prises. The Springfield Republican says: With indomitable pluck and industry he went about rebuilding his fortune. So great was the confidence of the insurance company in him, and in Chicogo as natural business center for the Northwest, that they increased his loans till they exceeded million and 8 half of dollars, a business policy which was long a standing indictment against the management in the mouths of rival com panies. Little by little the work of rebuild ing went on; the Palmer House assumed its magnificent proportions; houses and business blocks sprang up and the work continued for several years. with what brilliant success all Chicago knows. Then began the greater task of paying the debt-slowly at first, by small savings and small economies-till Chi eago began. to grow and prosper in its wonderful way, till the other day from Mr. Palmer the last dollar it had put in his keeping. Such is episode in the history of Potter Palmer and his fnan- cial struggles, which are known all over the West. To-day he is richer than ever before and Chicago rejoices in his success, not alone because of his own sturdy worth, but because his plucky fight did much to back the credit of the stricken city. The policy of the Connecticut Mutual in it's generous cated and it was the good fortune of the company to have for it's adviser in Chicago Judge Mark Skinner, whose sound judgment was equal to the opportunity"

HIS TIME NEARLY OUT.
RrOckway The Forger And His Tern
 At Sing Sing

At sing Sing.
 Yesterdays New York Sun in it's presenta- tion upon one of it's pages of 8 few selections of pictures of noted rascals in the New York rogues gallery, gives picture of Brockway the forger, whose misdoings occupied much space in Connecticut papers few years ago, and says of him:
 When Murderer Unger was taken to Sing Sing prison three weeks ago last Monday, he was instructed in the mysteries of the lock step by the man whose face is here given, and who has the distinction of being an ac- commplished forger and counterfeiter. Will liam B. Brockway is one of the most remark abl-looking men in Sing Sing prison, as he was a remarkable looking man when he was in the enjoyment of his liberty and moving about among fellow men. He is an inch and a half over six feet in height, has long, thin knotty neck, and face that is core spondingly long, and as solemn ss an under takers. He is man who is well read and he studied chemistry in Yale college. He became later a printer and electrotyper, and has brains enough to succeed in almost any thing if he could succeed in being honest. Inspector Byrnes says of him that his ex- ploits alone would i'll volume as big as the one he has devoted to all the principal crim- ipals.
 Brockway is married man, and sixty-fve years of age. He was born in Connecticut. The crime for which he is now paying the penalty was the forgery of a number of Nor ris and Essex railroad bonds. He plead guilty and was sentenced to five years in the State prison. His term expires on the 4th of this coming month of August, and if he still retains his health and business enterprise he will doubtless coon be heard from again, as it seems to be impossible for him to refrain from going at his old tricks the moment he is at liberty. One of his heaviest ex- plaits was the forging and uttsring of s2O4. 900 in United States per cent. bonds of the denomination of $1 ,000 each. He was convicted of this and sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment. In confederation, how ever, of giving up all the plates he had, of telling where were others of whose existence he knew. and of revealing other schemes to defraud the government his sentence was suspended, with the warning that if he wele caught in crimes against the United States again the sentence would be reimposed.

THE AUTOPSY 1NrEsr1GAr1ON.
The Hospital sOcIety's Hoard of Wis

The Hospital S0cletyss Hoard of Wise
 itors' Meeting of Enquiry.
 The board of visitors of the General Hos pital society, consisting of Hon. Caleb B. Bowers, chairman, General E. E. Bradley Rev. c. E. Woodcock, Patrick Maher and Max Adler, met Saturday afternoon at the committee room in the City Hall to listen to charges that post-mortem examinations were improperly made at the hospital. The board was in session for three hours. The hospital was represented by Superintendent Stark weather, Gen. s. E. Merwin, Thomas Hooker, and Dr. Carmalt. Moses Adams, the father of George H. Adams, upon whose body an autopsy was made few weeks ago, told the story of the affair. MT. Adams testified that it was the wish of his son expressed shortly before he died that no autopsy be made in his case. In response to Mr. Adler witness said he had interposed no objection to an autopsy; he did suppose one would be nec- essary, as his son died from the effects of the accident he met with. He had been inform ed by the hospital authorities of his son's impending dissolution. Witness did not complain of the hospital any further than with reference to the autopsy. It deeply grieved the parents to see the remains and the the marks upon it of the autopsy opera tion.
 MT. Bowers-"Who decides concerning the time when autopsies shall be made?'
 Dr. Carmalt-"The patho1ogist. We have never fixed any definite time. The circum- stances govern each case. We have never made an autopsy without an effort to notify friends"
 Superintendent Starkweather testified clearly as to the rules of procedure and re- quirements at the hospital, and to the care and attention given to Adams. He testified also that: 'tAfter death at the hospital, we endeavor to notify the nearest friends as soon possible. When they appear, if an au- topsy is desirable, a member of the house staff asks for permission. If the request is refused, that ends it, except it be coroner's case. I never knew of an autopsy without this permission was given. The rule says that there should be no autopsy until after a reasonable time. This pathologlst is the judge. We always wait till after death be- fore we ask if an autopsy can be held"
 The coroner in his testimony said: eff this body had been buried without autop- sy and had learned that death was due to carelessness then would have had nothing to present to the State attorney, and MT. Adams would have had nothing to present in 8 civil case for damages. In the case of the death of M. 5. Scott, Mrs. Scott requested that an autopsy be held. I never like to order an autopsy, but in some cases it must be made. know nothing about what was done at the autopsy. Sometimes VIC have inquests and sometimes only inquiries. So far as Dr. White is concerned he is one of the most careful medical examiners in Con necticut. I made the order for an autopsy and am ready to take the full responsibility for it." This closed the hearing, and no further evidence or complaint having been presented the committees report will prob ably he DreDared.

 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache; ;no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen victim to that modern scourge, Malaria. Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria Don't wait till you are on your back but begin at once the use of Lewis Red Jacket Bitters.
